Cory Doctorow's ultimate crooked point is that you're fucked if you don't embrace AI. Local models, whatever. He compares technologies that have been proven valuable with a product that is being predicted to be valuable.
It's a variation of the assumption that everyone who hates AI hasn't *tried* it. If only they would give it a chance, they'd not be left behind.
